53-56 custom grille treatments
 

Ive been looking around trying to get ideas for my '54 front end. Ive seen tube grilles, canted headlights ect, but nothing really pops out at me. Does anyone have links/pics/suggestions that'll give me more eyecandy to look at

Hmm... Started thinking

and this is what happened!

I like it! can you replace the pony with a V8 emblem?

Check out ferguson777's gallery. He came up with a really sweet grill using most of an early Pontiac grill

Heres my cross between a 53 grill and a 55. I customized a 53.
Not sure if its anything your looking for.

I agree tht it`s hard to beat a stock grill, it suits our rides perfectly. :-X22

if i were to ever change mine at all it would only be to make a fellow enthusiast do a double-take.

What ever you do, don't kill the '54 grille. These were the least produced for the 53-56 model years, and there fore are the hardest to find. Of course, they are all getting hard to find, but the '54 is by far the hardest. It seems most people don't like them, and they end up in the scrapper to make room for a chrome '56 grille (which I think is the least attractive).

I`ve got a spare 54 grill tucked away. :)

A 55 grille is the best looking grille ever put in an Effie. You could not go wrong with one in a 54. :)

Did you bring it out on Haloween to scare the neighborhood children?

Yuk, Yuk, Yuk! Good one! :-X03

Well it looks pretty cool with pumpkins/candles in the headlight openings....

:-missingt Now that's funny!!!! Hey this laughing smiley face kinda looks like a '54 grille ??:-missingt
